Rosie's Little Book of Ice Cream

About this ebook
Rosie, the vintage ice cream van, first appeared in the shape of a mug given to my friend and fellow Romance author, Kate Hardy. She posted a photograph on her blog and it was inspiration at first sight.
She made her first appearance in Tempted By Trouble, bringing endless trouble to Lovage (Elle) Amery and temptation in the form of the meltingly gorgeous Sean McElroy.
With her came a notebook filled with bookings for her many appearances – the trouble – and quotations and sayings that had been picked up over the years by her missing owner, Elle’s Great Uncle Basil.
Elle had two younger sisters and since that first book they’ve grown up. Sorrel, with her heart set on a man who would stay put, met a man who roamed the world’s jungles looking for plants with healing properties. I told her story in Anything But Vanilla.
Now Angelica (Geli) is striking out to make her own life and to celebrate the launch of her story – Vettori’s Damsel in Distress – I’ve put together the collected wisdom of Rosie, together with some recipes, some interesting historical facts about ice cream and the first chapter of each of the books as a free download.
I’ll leave the last word to Rosie —
“Life is like ice cream on a hot day. Enjoy it before it melts”.

Interesting Facts About Ice Cream
The Emperor Nero is said to have sent slaves into the Apennine Mountains to fetch snow to mix with nectar, fruit pulp and honey, although this widely told tale may be a myth.
The origins of ice cream date back to China's T'ang period, probably as a dish for the country's rulers. The founder of the dynasty, King T'ang of Shang, kept 94 ice men
on hand to carry ice to the palace. It is widely thought that Marco Polo brought the idea back from his travels in China.
In the Persian Empire, people poured grape-juice concentrate over snow, in a bowl to eat as a treat.
When Italian duchess Catherine d'Medici married the Duke of Orléans (Henry II of France) in 1533, she is said to have taken to France some Italian chefs who had recipes for flavoured ices or sorbets. One hundred years later, Charles I of England was, apparently, so impressed by the frozen snow
that he offered his own ice cream maker a lifetime pension in return for keeping the formula secret, so that ice cream could be a royal prerogative. There is no historical evidence to support these legends, which first appeared during the 19th century.
American colonists took with them recipes from Europe. On May 19, 1744, a group of VIP's dined at the home of Maryland Governor Thomas Bladen. Present was a Scottish colonist who described a Dessert...Among the Rarities of which it was Compos'd, was some fine Ice Cream which, with the Strawberries and Milk, eat most deliciously.
This is the first written account of ice cream consumption in the new world.
In the second half of the 19th century, street vendors in the UK sold ice cream in glass containers called a penny lick
. As the name implies, the treat cost just a penny and yes, the customer did lick it straight from the glass! It was banned in London in 1899 due to concern about the spread of disease, especially tuberculosis.
Edible cones were mentioned in French cookery books as early as 1825, but Abe Doumar rolled up a waffle, filled it with ice cream and began selling these cones at the St Louis Exposition in 1904. He later bought a machine which produced 20 cones a minute and his company was still operating 100 years later.
